you mean inlet turbine temperature is too good to be true or afterburner thrust ..
both characteristics are accurate.
I always felt it was reasonable to expect WS-15 to sit somewhere between F135 and F119 (purely in terms of thrust) considering advances in technology since F119 and continued improvements to WS-10. But these thrust numbers put WS-15 solidly in the F135 class. Maybe someone with better knowledge can correct me.
afterburner thrust of WS-15 is around 38,000-40,000 lbf
What’s the dry thrust.
25,000 lbf
40,000lbf is 178 kN, which is certainly reasonable, but is also only on the low end of the numbers by horobeyo.
178kN maximum afterburner thrust is within reason, but 191kN is much higher than our previous expectations.
If dry thrust is around 110 kN, 190 kN of wet thrust doesn’t seem consistent with a BPR of 0.25.
Yeah the numbers look reasonable in that regard but 190kN AB thrust is still a bit higher than we were thinking in the past.
I wonder what the operational rationale of the given BPR, dry thrust and AB thrust requirements were, if those numbers are accurate.
yeah. 178 kN is reasonable thrust
sir my source told me, improved variant is already under development.
better thrust , bypass ratio and other improvements will undertaken in new variant.
